Rutgers football offers look inside program with '15 Days of Spring' airing Saturday

John Munson/The Star-LedgerRutgers linebacker Khaseem Greene was one of several players miked up for a 90-minute film airing on Saturday that offers a rare look into the team's entire spring practice operation

A rare, all-encompassing look into spring football practice at Rutgers -- one that senior linebacker Khaseem Greene called both "entertaining and informative" -- will air on Saturday after the school offered a sneak preview of the 90-minute film today on campus.

"RFootball: 15 Days of Spring" will air at 9 p.m. on SNY and at 3:30 p.m. on Comcast in South Jersey on Saturday.

The all-access look into virtually every aspect of the program this spring starts with coach Kyle Flood leaving his house shortly after 5 a.m. on the first day of spring practice and runs through to the spring game.

Flood was miked the entire time, and several players were miked during practices. Greene, who watched the preview with a handful of teammates inside the team meeting room at the Hale Center on campus today, was among the players miked up.

"I thought it was great," he said. "I think the fans and the families are going to love it. It was funny at times but it was also an in-depth look into what we go through on a daily basis during the spring. It was fun. I think the fans are really going to enjoy it."

Segments highlight the assistant coaches, several players, the weight room, the managers and, of course, spring practice. Included are rare glimpses at a couple of "Bull in the Ring" sessions before practice in which an offensive player goes against a defensive player as the rest of the team and the coaching staff form a circle around them.

"It's a great look into the inner workings of our program for our fan base and our recruits," said Flood.

Mind Over Media, which produced the film, was given full access throughout the spring.

"They were judicious with how they used the content," said Flood.

One player in line for some ribbing from his teammates is fullback Michael Burton, who is shown during a segment with his girlfriend in their kitchen.

"It was a little embarrassing, the whole scene with my girlfriend," said Burton, "I wasn't sure it was going to be on, and obviously it was. I'm sure I'll hear about it from the guys."
